Amy, I was planning on watching it, but we don't have Starz anymore.

Um, not above-board, that I know of.

I do agree with -t's point about Lafayette. Absolutely.

I am watching Outlander, Amy...while simultaneously listening to the books. (It turns out that the series constitutes several hundred hours of entertainment!)

I liked the second episode much better than the first and am hopeful for the series being much more loyal to the source material...though there are already some changes.

What have you thought of it?

You can watch the first episode of Outlander on the Starz site.

It would be so good if they did the delayed release that hulu does...or made a deal with netflix!

It's been a long time since I read the books, so a lot of the little details are probably going to escape me, but I'm loving it so far. I think they're doing a fantastic job creating the world and the characters so far. The casting for Claire and Jamie is really great.

The "Guest" ep of The Leftovers was fabulous, I thought. Carrie Coon as Norah Durst was amazing. That ep brought to the table the ways things have changed in the world at large by setting it in a city at a convention. It was good to get out of town. Wayne seems to have a genuine gift, too, even if he is a scumbag in his personal life. It may just be empathy and/or intuition, but it's something. The sacrificial lamb aspect, dunno about that. Delusion probably.

"Cairo" whoa. I want to know how the shirts got there - I guess he did that? The guilty remnant thing is so weird, tho' I'm glad Masters of Sex can have an actor back now. The implication is that Laurie will make herself a sacrifice in the future. Jill, M Qualley, is Andie McDowell's daughter.

What on earth are the GM doing? Those are bodies, yeah? I think Im not going to like next week's ep.

In re: Outlander.

I agree. I was worried...as a true fan is...about the lead casting, but am so impressed, even down to the minor characters.

I'm a little sad over the casting of Mrs. Fitzgibbons because I actually saw that actress in my mind for Mrs. Bugg, much later in the series.

Sam Hueghen's voice is so perfect, I can hardly believe it. My only quibble with Caitriona Balfe is that her hair should be a bit bushier and her bum a bit wider. She's a little too gamine for my imagining of Claire.

The Leftovers. This is interesting. Has the poem Patti recited as well as a theory about what's real/not real. (I missed the bag of poo that apparently happened, not that that's critical. Also lists what's in the book and not. )http://www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/does-the-wb-yeats-poem-patti-recited-in-the-leftovers-hint-at-answers-to-a-larger-mystery.php

I'm sorry to hear how much is not Tom Perrata. I was hoping the story was going to be in good hands. As far as it being an excellent mood piece, might have to go back to acceoting that alone. The Guest ep had me hoping for a good, to be revealed story.

Masters of Sex. What the eff is going on with Libby? We are to understand this fixation of hers is a result of her lackluster sex life with Bill? Or a twisted pure racism? Poor Coral, except she's prob better off not being there subjected to Libby's increasingly awful behavior. So is that guy the brother or not? Was Coral effing with her?

Poor DePaul. I've started reading the book. Guess I'll see what's up at Sepinwall. In case you're a fan of the show, Thomas Maier is participating in the comment section.

True Blood. Everyone's getting paired off for their happy ever after. The question is if Skookie dies or if Bill stays undead. Maybe they end up buried together and Jason moves into the house.
